The "Rescue Aid Society" is a centuries-old organization that was founded by the helpful little mouse of the old "Aesop's fable". It's a secret organization of adventurous, intrepid, yet perfectly civilized mice from all over the world who lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
Our hero mice of the film are, the beautiful, sophisticated, & sweet-natured Miss Bianca (Eva Gabor) and her partner-in-adventure and admirer: the mild-mannered, and cautious Bernard (Bob Newhart). They are out to rescue a kidnapped 6-year-old orphan named "Penny".
Penny has been kidnapped by the slimy, greedy old pawn shop owner Medusa (a "Cruella De Vil" prototype no doubt) and her bumbling windbag minion Snoops who just isn't as intimidating no matter how hard he trys. Penny is small enough to squeeze into caverns & tombs and retrieve valuable diamonds for them.
Though cherubic & innocent, but snaggle-toothed & drab-clothed Penny often lacks confidence in her looks & "adoptable" factor, she's brave, strong, and resourceful, cooperating with her captors just long enough to stay safe, and sends messages for "help" and keeping faith that she will be saved.
The movie's animation has a wonderful classic 70's feel to it, without looking "cheap" or like it was just thrown together. Though not in "musical/song-and-dance number" format (thank goodness) there are a few haunting, yet heartwarming songs playing as we stay hopeful that precious Penny overcomes this ordeal. It's quite evident that a lot of heart, soul, and creativity was put into both the story as well as the animation. Though there is no "violence" in the film there is much suspenseful peril and well-animated "action sequences" that our mice heroes must face on their journey for Penny's rescue, that keeps the viewer on the edge of his/her seat.
Unlike most animated family films of *this* generation, the comic relief is kept to a minimum and a subtle degree for *most* of the film, but boy the villains, the climax, and their fates do not fail to bring the "lols".
This is one of Disney's more underrated & thoroughly charming & heart-warming animated films from beginning to end. Fun for the whole family, and a flawlessly executed animated action/adventure with no gimmicks, snark, pop-culture name-drops whatsoever.
It's a wholesome, heartwarming and quirky animated film that was conceptualized & powered by nothing but good old-fashioned raw imagination.
Definitely worth a watch : 10/10

"Monsters vs. Aliens" is the latest (as well as, most aesthetically engaging & impressive;even sans 3-D) CGI animated film to date.
It follows Susan; an amiable, relatable girl-next-door/bride-to-be, whose wedding day is horribly interpreted when a meteorite hits her & causes her to sprout to 50 feet, and captured by the U.S. government as their latest imprisoned top secret monster : "Ginormica".
Away from her family, friends, fiancé & society for almost a month, she befriends the other captured govt't-contained monster.
A scientist mutated into a cockroach, an amphibious monster, and a blue amorphous gelatinous blob.
Susan/Ginormica & her monster co. are quite likable amusing & it would've been nice if they had more screen time & funnier dialouge to work with...But the aliens' motives & plot must be explained in the meantime.
Like many animated family films these days, "Monsters vs. Aliens" contains humor primarily aimed @ children & for the adults: silly random homages payed to adult genres.
Example: Pixar's "The Incredibles" payed homage to the superhero genre Another Example: yet another Pixar favorite of mine, "WALL*E" payed homage to the sub-genre of post-apocalyptic dystopian sci-fi.
The "Shrek" movies etc...' "Monsters vs. Aliens" obviously pays homage to monster movies, alien movies & disaster movies (the San Fransico bridge sequence was fantastic to watch) but I just feel that it had the potential to be something as excellent as "The Incredibles" but was stymied by Dreamworks' unwavering dependency on "saturday morning cartoon" dialog, formula, & delivery.
Though I praised them earlier the interactions between the mad roach scientist, the blob & the sea monster do not seem fresh; like they were ripped straight out of a standard Saturday morning cartoon & I've seen them before....These 3 characters have an inspired backstories that are briefly explained in the movie, so I was expecting them to be a little more engaging.
Now before you die-hard "Dreamworks" fans out there say this user comment isn't useful & submitted by a biased Pixar fangirl, I actually enjoy many Dreamworks movies; even the ones that are usually bashed like "Bee Movie".
Although I laughed harder @ Bee Movie than I did "Monsters vs. Aliens", the latter movie is superior as a MOVIE but like the former Dreamworks flick, I think there was a lot of untapped potential.
The visuals were excellent (the most beautifully animated Dreamworks film yet) but it wasn't as funny as it could've been even though there were many jokes & one-liners.
However, I'm not a child nor do I have a family of my own, so maybe I'm being a tad bit harsh.
Children (and most parents) will Definitely enjoy this movie, so I do recommend it.

The undeniably brilliant & beautiful graphic novel masterpiece about the archetypical conflict of the "superhero" :"saving the world", inevitable war, and the human condition is now an enjoyable, but not "perfectly" competent film adaptation.
For those who didn't read the book: "Watchmen" is set in an alternate universe where Nixon serves under a 3rd term in 1985, battling the Soviets despite impending worldwide thermonuclear holocaust...The film follows washed-up formerly-masked vigilantes who were all active until they were forced by the gov't to retire in the Keene Act of '77.
Though the film leaves out a significant amount of information & emotional scenes of certain characters that the book contains, such as,Laurie Jupiter,Rorschach & the New Yorkers surrounding the "Gunga Diner", Snyder obviously read the book & although he watered down some emotionally gripping scenes or left them out completely; he understood the *primary" point of "Watchmen" Humanity's "Big Joke"....These superheros goal is to "save the world"...But will the world let them? Is chaos inevitable? Do perfectly moral masked saviors really exist?
"Rorschach" :a mysterious, monotonous hero in a trench coat fedora & earie moving "Rorschach" blotted mask that is still "active" even after the Keen Act, therefore a much feared fugitive, merciless interrogator ; never spares evil-doers, fights viciously to punish the amoral & he never surrenders even in the face of Armageddon. He's a crusader for black & white justice. Black white forces bouncing off of each other, NEVER mixing of grey as Rorschach says, the mask is his "face".
"The Comedian" is a "superhero" "war hero" with sadistic tendencies who sets the stage for the film's themes in the beginning, as well as the very end.
He really just fights evil for something to "fight", he knows humans will inevitably kill each other off, and chooses to revel in the chaos.
Then there is "Dr. Manhattan" a REAL superhuman...An indestructible immortal nuclear force who can do virtually *anything*, manipulate basic physics that were once thought to be written in stone...He is fighting for America, yet the Soviets are not surrendering..The world is proving The Comedian right.Also due to his condition of no longer being a "normal" human,due to tragic circumstances, he becomes unmotivated to defend humanity.He no longer sees the value in humans.
The only retired hero who seems to genuinely care about the world, and promises to end all wars is the retired-hero & self-made millionaire Adrian "Ozymandias" Veidt...He is also the only retired hero with the most positive public image, selling action figures & other self-endorsing merchandise.
He's a hero we can completely trust & believe in...Or is he? This film is a rather difficult one to review...I've read the graphic novel before watching this film adaptation which is probably the BEST way to enjoy & understand the film and the movie's opening & ending are the perfect interpretations of the book.
In the middle, it meanders a bit and isn't paced too well IMO...However as adaptations go, I can tell the filmmakers truly understood the book & interpreted it accurately save for, as I mentioned earlier, the strong emotional impact the book provokes.
Even if you didn't read the book, this is definitely an enjoyable film, never a dull moment, and you may not look @ the superhero genre the same way again.
6/10
